When you start the Google Chrome Netbook for the first time, you can get started within 60 seconds. For the next time the Google Chrome Netbook will start within 10 seconds. Google also claims that the device will not lose speed over time as most of the data and files are located on the internet instead of the Chromebook itself.

Portability: Portability is another feature highlighted by several beta testers. Most of the Chromebook designs are light weight and sleek; So it is easy to carry it anywhere you go. If you do not want to take you Chromebook with you then you can access all your data on the Internet from some other computer using your account and password. No one can access your data until they have your account password.

At a conference revealing the features of Chromebooks, Sudar Pichai, the vice president of Product Management at Google, demonstrated a Chrome OS device and a Windows PC, both open to a page listing the Chrome apps that he had installed. When he uninstalled an app on the Chromebook, it was automatically uninstalled on the Windows PC.
